Hello JP:

I'm very impressed by your project and your equipments. May be I will start with the EQ and the software for tuning my actual system. It will be my first experience and I would like to obtain help from you and from other experts like Chris. There are many models of EQ I saw at Partsexpress.com. I don't know what is the best model for me. I think that the final sound will be greatly affected by the EQ. So the choice of the EQ is extremely crucial.

Thanks
The DCX2496 is critical here. It is a superb EQ, but is also a high grade DSP based xover system that will allow for perfect integration of your main speakers and the subwoofers. Insert the DCX between your pre-amp and main channel amplifiers. To get a DSP xover comparable to the DCX from another company, you will have to spend about 2x as much, and it will have lesser features and no direct computer GUI interface for the easiest set up. However, for 3 to 4x as much, you can get a comparable unit from another company that also has computer interface, as well as some additional features not found on the DCX.

-Chris
